Well, well, well....I'm sure just as soon as I post this my bubble will be well and truly popped...but post I shall, nonetheless In Miller's 20th Century Glass by Andy McConnell, page 55 plate 6 there is da da da..... an amethyst cut and faceted footed vase with the 'Phoenix' decoration the same as my perfume bottle and it's a signed Moser piece!!!!!Described as ' Middle: Signed Moser example in violet cut glass, c1925'

M I've had a Moser perfume & atomizer confirmed using the Moser contact info during the past two years & they stated perfume bottles/atomizers were rarely signed...the were sold with a velvet bag & box & carried a label. Ken

Thanks Ken I assumed they didn't sign the smaller pieces but that's really good to get it confirmed. To try and get a match on the oroplastic or acid cutback design, I'd been looking for the matching 'Phoenix' design on a larger piece to see if I could find a signed one - and finally in the Miller's book I did So now two pieces of information that would back up my piece being Moser - thank you!

Ivo...as I said...how long before that bubble was popped So what do I do? In Millers that amethyst vase was used as the 'genuine' Moser example to show how others had copied the Moser oroplastic design. He used a Walther pressed piece and a citrine coloured cut vase unsigned (stating it was a superior piece) to demonstrate v the amethyst signed Moser piece. That might be taking it a bit far if he was using an unsigned Moser piece or one that had a dubious signature as the comparison 'genuine Moser' piece? or wouldn't it? Since I've been shot down in flames for questioning Truitt's I rather step back from openly questioning books now m

Ken, I assumed Ivo was questioning the fact that the piece in Miller's was stated as a 'signed' piece but did not show a photograph of the signature ie it might not have been a genuine signature on the piece used.Ivo, please correct me if I have interpreted your post incorrectlym
